Yes, it allows you to search for articles and download them. Without the ability to sign into an account it loses much of its functionality. Would be nice to have this option to make use over different platforms seamless. Also, the UI could use an update to reduce the pixelation.

I did not experience the registration logins like what others have been mentioning. I bet the app has limitations like any normal mobile version of desktop applications. My only suggestion is: modernize the ui. It looks old. Try to do something like a Google Now inspired ui or holo. Any modern interface would do.

It's nice to have this app, but it could be a lot better. There's no advanced search, it doesn't like to work in landscape mode, and on my Xoom at first it didn't work right at all, until I told Android to zoom instead of stretch it, and then put it back to stretch. The good news is that Firefox can deal with the web version just fine.

Dreadful. On Android 6, this app is barely functional. The start screen tells you to obtain a key, but gives no place to input it. The settings menu does nothing that I can see. One would expect this to be the place to record account details, but it did not seem to work.

After spending half an hour trying to figure out how to read an article I have given up. The help section is useless. The screen shots provided in the "how to read an article" look nothing like the actual screen. And just for clarification, the full text of the article I am trying to read IS available on the website.

The help instructions on how can I authenticate my app is kinda hard to follow, so I gave up ay my first try. I logged-in on their "website search database" and saw the mini advertisement / announcement below regarding this app for the android and iphone. And to my surprise, its really fast to authenticate the app! I hope you could make authenticating easier like just asking for the username and password and not by sending these instructions to email. Also I hope you could put the citation styles here!
